Please read the new features implemented from Octane Standalone 4 version our blog post.


Changes since version 13.20:

• As a workaround for the Autodesk's hair colors bug: Implemented the option to disable the native colors support of Maya hair (new "Disable native colors support" attribute in pfx-object). If disabled, the Maya's native hair colors will be ignored, and the material will be mapped directly using the UVs of the underlying mesh (only one mesh for all follicles of the pfx-object is supported).
• Implemented the workaround for Maya's numeric UI control bug, popping-up in some special cases for key-animated values.
• Fixed panoramic camera translation bug.
• Minor LiveDB fixes...

@JimStar,

This is a nice surprise, thanks a lot,
but it doesn't work properly yet :

- with pfx Hair this only works if the mesh is at world origin else UVs are messed up when the mesh move.

- with pfx Stroke (paint effect) this doesn't work at all because the relative mesh is not found.

In the paint effect case there is an error message :

Code: Select all

// Warning: Octane: No input mesh found for the hair object "strokeShape6", forced the native hair colors support //

however the mesh is not far in the pfx stroke inputs :
